This past week was spent setting up and helping with our Stake Nativity event. It was a lot of work and took a lot of people to put it together, but it was fabulous. The Nativities were arranged wonderfully, the music was good, and we had a wonderful turnout from the community. I know the first two days we had around 400 nonmembers come and see it. I am not sure what the final count was after Saturday. I helped with the Children's room. Families could come in and get their picture taken dressed up in nativity clothing. We also had Luke 2 playing, and hands on nativities to play with and books to read. Emily had the opportunity to play the piano for the Children Choir. She did a great job. A lot of people commented on how well she played. I was very proud of her, I am always amazed at how well she does under pressure, I never performed well under pressure. They figured there were close to 400 people there during the two concerts. Emily plays a song again tonight for the sing a long that we are having before the First Presidency Devotional.
Here are a few pictures from the event. I actually got them from my friends blog because I didn't ever remember to take my camera up there.

This was a great event to get everyone thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. I am so thankful for my Savior and for His birth.
